Seeing a recent craigslist ad post made me think of this thread. I can't explain how much this meant to me as a bass player. I was already in a band (still in it technically) but I wanted more, we weren't playing much. When I first saw this thread I was like "I have to jump at this", I had only switched to bass from guitar about a 2 years prior but I knew I had the chops. I had junk gear...they actually bought the Geddy Lee in my avatar pic later...of course I payed them back, but they wanted me to have the right "look" and I was down with that! lol Anyway...we went on to play about once or twice a month for a little over a year...every gig yielded me at least $125 but the experience I got was invaluable! And I made contacts! So ultimately I guess I owe my meager success to Talk Bass. I wouldn't be where I am now (not famous yet obviously, but working on it) without this silly, crazy, truthful and hard assed community. Thanks guys!

I suppose that's as good of a reason as any to dig up this mummy thread.

So I guess they're looking for another bass player, again. Unfortunately #15 knocks me out of contention.

Thank you for your indulgence,

Well I could've made a seperate post about I guess. No they're not looking, the band is dead...as far as I know. Don't talk to the guys anymore. I just thought you guys would like to know that this community helped me get a start.Wow Bass Cliff replied and was kinda mean.... first time I've ever seen that!

 

[crguti]

[MrLenny1]

I'm sorry if you thought my response was mean. I thought I was being tongue-in-cheek. Please accept my apologies. It's ok to bring a story full circle. I'm glad you find inspiration and encouragement in this community. I'll try to provide more of that.


Thank you for your indulgence,

I've got all the qualifications except #11 and #15.

Not willing to move for #11 and I'll decide when I need strings thank you very much.

Sounds like the perfect band except for the horrible band name.
Gus Whitaker must be the egomaniacal band leader that posted the ad

What a bunch of tools the guys are who wrote the ad in the OP. Where the hell do they get off?! Doesn’t matter if auditions haven’t been going well. I wouldn’t join a band that had an attitude like that on a dare. I hope they never found anybody and broke up.

Now that’s mean.

*sigh* You guys are such a tough crowd...wouldn't have it any other way.

What? You were in the band and don't know why it's was called that? That's weird.

Several years ago I was in a previous band with guys that all lived in my neighborhood, which was called Fairground Park and we just played locally. We used the name Velvet Fairground. Yesterday, my 16 year old son tells me that he just heard of the band Velvet Underground and now he gets it.

Yeah, I find myself hoping bad things happened to them. Tool is the TB friendly word for those guys.

The heartwarming story of a boy and his rig.... awww!

Glad it had a happy ending.

Wow. When I saw the date of the initial post, and the fact that the thread was back on top, I wondered what was going on.

That's pretty much the coolest zombie thread Revival I've ever seen. Cool story!


Oh, and, when in doubt, assume @BassCliff is goofing around. I doubt there's a mean bone in that guy's body.
